Hi all,
I tried on the apt-get manual. But could not get to my requirement.
I have some of the packages in my deb box which i do not want to
upgrade/remove/uninstall during an apt-get dist-uprade.
How do i specify the exclude list ?
You need to put such packages in 'hold' state, using aptitude or
through the CLI running for example:
echo "package hold" | dpkg --set-selections
To check a package state, run:
dpkg --get-selections package
package is of course the package name. ;)
